Is asphyxiation considered accidental death

Answer 1

YES. Under special conditions or circumstances a heart attack, usually considered a natural death, resulting from coronary artery disease (CAD), might be considered an accidental death. This is a legal and medical question, but there are numerous USA coroner cases where the courts found some heart attacks to be accidental deaths.

The conditions and circumstances to support a determination of accidental death include (a) Taking certain drugs, such as cocaine; (b) smoking cigarettes; (c) suffering emotional stress or pain; and (d) being exposed to extreme cold.

One example would be an elderly woman who has been in a rear end collision. She is already in shock from the trauma of the crash and sees her husband bleeding from the head, un-moving and leaning against the steering wheel. Thinking he is dead, she panics, becomes hysterical and causes excessive adrenalin to enter her system which causes the accumulated plaque in her coronary artery to rip off as a clot. That is turn blocks the artery, cutting off the heart's own blood flow which begins to kill the heart muscle. She may die in minutes or hours later in a hospital if her heart condition is not detected soon enough. The accident exacerbated her condition; her's was not a natural death.

Answer 2

Since the seizure itself cannot kill you the fact that your brain temporarily stops your heart and breathing it is scary to someone trying to help. If you died during seizure it is because of a fall or choking on food or if driving accident in the vehicle. So i would say yes due to what activity was happening when you have the seizure, I would think it would be considered an accidental death.

Answer 3

I've never tried it, but everyone tells me that meduno (a Mexican soup) is the ticket for hangovers. Prevention works better for me. The primary cause of hangover is dehydration by alcohol. Drink drink water at regular intervals while you and drink a large glass of water before going to bed. This should really help.

Answer 4

No, natural causes.

Answer 5

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

Most of what I have seen from other sources indicates that NO, a stroke is NOT considered accidental death, and is generally viewed as "dying of natural causes". There could be circumstances where a stroke might be viewed as accidental death, if the stroke was caused by a trauma or some other factor.

Considering that there is only one answer to this question above, and it's entirely wrong, I just wanted to add this to ensure that people don't get the wrong information. I'm not an authority on this subject, just looking for the same information that you are.
